SHoPrso NoT AL.wAYs 13cvii.-A
shopkeeper in London was lately ined
fI' fillowing a lady into the street,
who had purchased nothing, and insilt
iiig lier by saying that .e believed she
had only Colle to steal, and had no in
tention to buy. It appeared in evi
dence that the lady wished to ratch a
piece of goods, but that the shopkeep
er ref cired to had not the article she
wanted. It appeared also, however,
that f'emales frequently consunied the
time of storekeepers and their .lerks,
by asking to look at goods, but with
out any intention or puhaiii'esing. This
fact was deemed, accordingly, to miti
gate the ofiecCe of the dealer, so that
he was not punished as severely as lie
might have been, though fined heavi
We fear that London is not the on
ly place where idle women waste the
time of storekeepers. Shopping is a
favorite recreation with fiair Phila
delpliianis, as well as with their sisters
in the lBritish metropolis, not- are the
pretty shopkeepers always in earnest
here in their pretence of' wishing to
buy, any more than there. Some la
dies, we are told, make a point of vis
iting the principal stores periodically,
merely to ste what the new styles are.
Others dawdle about the fasiionable
shops, as men do about the fashiomable
drinking saloons, to make acquantian
ces and hear the last bit of spicy gos
sip. Occasionally, a small purchase
is made. But usually, af't'r tuarning
over* the finest g'oods, and' absor'bintg
the tinme of a clerk, the fair shopkeep
er departs miaking aniy excuse for not
buying thait may chance to come upj

gave us an excellent opportunity of en
quiring into the prospects of the pres

state are quito favorable, particularly
for grain; a number of our inorumants
even said that.their corn was better,
than they had ever seen it, and prom
ised a most abundant yield; we
hope this will have the efLfet of do
ing away with the panic created by
the drought of a month since. Cot

the recent heavy showers, which have
caused it to shed the young forms and
in some sections we hear cumplaints of
